Potentially need a new set of rims.

Looking for experiences of either of the above. Are the Arch ex a bit narrow by todays standards? They will be for riding all sorts, Peak district, Lakes, Wales, Mountains, trail centres etc etc

Tech 4 are heavier but seem good value.

Cheers

I know that its not one of the above (this is STW standard practice) but WTB i23/i25 TCS are worth a look. Light and cheaper than ZTR's.

I must point out that the Arch and Tech 4 can be had for £160 in a great sale on Superstar so don't want to spend too much more.

Don't think either can be beaten at that price to be honest.

What width of Tech 4? I've had a few wheelsets with the DS25 rims and they are really good for the money.

I even did a review...

More in lime with Flow EX than Arch EX - so I'd choose based on how hard you'll be riding them.

Cheers chakaping

I like to ride ungraciously as often as possible but I only weigh about 70kg on a bad day 🙂

Will be in 29er guise
